Package: backup-manager
Version: 0.5.7-1
Severity: wishlist

Creating a world-readable repository would be a serious security breach.
I may be mistaken, but AFAICS the installation script fails to check
this or warn about it.  It doesn't enforce it in any case; I just
realized I had a world-readable repository in a working setup.

Are there any steps that can be taken to encourage secure configuration,
e.g. creating the repository at installation time with root-only access
rights, or chmod'ing it if it already exists?  Or alternatively, create
the backups with root-only access rights and/or encrypt them.
